Question: Where do the New Orleans Streetcars Go?
Answer:

There are three streetcar lines in New Orleans. All are accessible from the French Quarter and downtown. The most historic and well-known is the St. Charles Avenue line which runs from Canal Street, through the American Sector, to the old city of Carrollton. The cars on this line are green.

The second is the Riverfront line. It runs along the Mississippi River from Esplanade Avenue, at the far end of the French Quarter, to the Convention Center. The cars on this line are red.

The third is the Canal Street line. It runs from the foot of Canal Street at the Mississippi River, along Canal Street, to Carrollton Avenue. An extension of this line runs to New Orleans City Park for access to the New Orleans Museum of Art.
